Abstract

Background:Management of ulcers is a topic of great interest. Some of the basic methods of managing ulcers can be listed as Debridement of non-viable tissues, reduction of edema, appropriate dressing, Antibiotics if necessary, Control of co-morbidities, Close wounds surgically with grafts or flaps. Debridement prepares the wound for healing by reducing the bioburden. Without an adequate debridement, a wound is persistently exposed to cytotoxic stressors and competes with bacteria for scarce resources such as oxygen and nutrients. Dermabrasion is a tool in the management of dermatological conditions like post-acne scarring, naevi, adenoma sebaceum and also in the management of burns. In this study the use of dermabrasion as a debridement tool in the management of ulcers shall be evaluated.Aims and Objectives of the Study: To assess the usefulness and effects of dermabrasion in the management of ulcers.To compare the outcome of dermabrasion with the conventional method.Assessment of Wound healing.No of days of Hospital stay, Pain during the procedure.
